I think that by the way is why Republicans have struggled with family orientated demos like Asians and Hispanics in recent years. Republicans talk about family. Asian-Americans and Hispanic-Americans really mean it.

I think Republicans think “nuclear family” when they talk family. Immigrant families talk “extended family”…and that’s just not socially/culturally, but economically—sharing resources among extended family members is a fact of life. And Republican policies simply don’t take that into account—-sneering at “it takes a village” is actually sneering at families.
